Laobian dumpling

Laobian dumpling (老邊餃子館) is famous restaurant in Shenyang. It was established in 1829 by elder Bian (邊福). They do business over 180 years now.

If you go this restaurant, there are two specialty menu. First one is flower tea.
Tea pot is funny looking and their flower tea blend is unique.
Isn't this nine???

And second specialty is laobian steamed dumpling. It was so soft and tasty!
I didn't use soy sauce because inside of meat and vegetable have special flavor.

This dumpling was not listed house specialty, but it was recommended by waiter.
As you see the photo, taste was ggggggreat:)))

Dinner at "xinhongji"

Dining Xinhongji (新洪記) restaurant was my first food experience in Shenyang, China. We, Internship members arrived at Shenyang airport around 2:00PM and affiliated company's employee picked us up from there to Hotel. Company employee (Chinese) seems nice and they speak fluent Japanese. It was great to have Japanese speaker when we checked in Hotel.

Xinhongji restaurant prepared nice private room for us.Then welcome party had begun.
It was clean and nice restaurant. I was so amazed how tasty all the food were. Especially boiled dumpling and baked dumpling. Dumpling is this area's specialty food.

Our arrival day was same as affiliated company's President Birthday. We all cerebrated together with this pink cake.
I believed I wouldn't be starving to death in China:)
